Alcohol in the Sick-Roonn.

"Whosoever is deceived thereby is
not wise" What multitude of un-
wise ones there are according to this
verdict! Alcohol is the champion de-
ceiver, and nowhere has it more woe
fully deceived than in the sick-room;
but light is breaking in. The most adj
vanced medical minds are beginning to
perceive the ''modus operandi" and
true character of this agent. 1t has
been employed to aid digestion, but it
is now known that it retards this pro-
cess. 1t has been given to promote
strength; it is now known to lessen it.
1t has been administered to heighten
temperature; it is now known to lower
it. It Las been used to intensity vital
ity; it is now known to diminish it.
The success of non-alcoholic hospitals
and of observing physicians in private
practice is producing amarked impress
sion. and the day is evidently not far
distant when the indiscriminate or even
the general use of intoxicants in the
sick-roonl will, like the general blood
letting of the past century, be classed
among the decisions Of the past,-Pub.

''The treaty practically makes single ter

increased trade between the two countries,
